Advantages: Excellent Digital Zoom Function, Superb Quality Pictures, So, so easy to use

Disadvantages: LCD Screen Impossible to see in sunlight, Eats batteries for fun!!!

After deciding to invest in my first digital camera, I managed to pick up an immaculate second-hand Finepix 2400 off eBay for a measly £150!!! A complete bargain I know and what a camera I got for my cash! 5 minutes after unpacking it I was snapping away at anything I could catch in the viewfinder. I was impressed with its quality of images at the highest resolution (1600 x 1200) and even the 640 x 480 prints were good. The only grumble I have with this camera is the LCD screen is totally impossible to see in bright sunlight although you can just about see the image in the shade.
For anyone who is looking to buy their first digital camera, I can't recommend them enough. Just make sure your first purchase is a few rechargable batteries!!!! Oh, and a bigger Smartmedia Card. The supplied 8MB one only hold 10 high resolution images. You can pick up a 64MB Card (holds 82 high-res imagies) for as little as £21.

Totally Recommended!!!


*** Update ***
After reading a few opinions, I've decided to add this little piece.

I've seen this camera for sale (locally) between £240 - £280, so that's why I think I had a bargain.

Also, this being my first digital camera, I think that anyine looking to buy one couldn't go wrong buying this one, so that is why I described this as 'an ideal first digital camera'

Hope this clears it up....

I should have made it more clear that my son didn't pay the original list price - he got his camera for £230. Mine was £199.99 from dabs, a saving of £150 on the price being quoted by amazon.co.uk for the same camera.

If you've never owned a digital camera before, how do you know that the 2400z (now discontinued and replaced by the 2600) is an ideal first digital snapper?

Actuall y my son has one and he's quite pleased with it. It was £375 new about two years ago, dropped to £279, £250, £225 and finally to £215 as newer model came on stream.

I only paid £50 more for my digital camera, a new Minolta Dimage E203, which has a 3x optical zoom, 2m pixels, various flash modes and other features.

It uses Secure Digital/MMC cards so is extremely compact.

£150 is a 'complete bargain'? Er, how can I know this if you don't tell me how much the normal retail price new is?!
